2) Tracy Beanz, 'You may want to sit this one out.'

@jikkyleaks, 'Misinformation you say?'

3) What makes the @thelancet ballyhooed studies on misinformation all the more comical is who authored them: CDC scientists and academic Claire Wardle.

4) First, why @thelancet claiming authority on 'misinformation' when they published a screwed up Surgisphere study that critics forced them to retract?

5) The Lancet also posted a corrupt statement by @peterdaszak that called a possible lab accident a 'conspiracy theory.' The statement was totally corrupt and Daszak hid his financial ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

6) When The Lancet's Richard Horton was asked about this, he told Parliament, 'It took us over year to persuade [Daszak] to declare his full competing interests.” As if Horton is not in charge of ethics at his own journal.

7) Yet The Lancet published CDC studies on misinformation. Which is nuts.

The CDC has pushed out tons of misinformation during the pandemic. Is the Lancet not aware of this?

CDC's vaccine centre is run by the same PR firm for Pfizer and Moderna--vax manufacturers.

8) And who appointed Brown University Claire Wardle and expert. She spread vaccine misinformation claiming it was a 'conspiracy theory' to worry there would be vaccine mandates.

Hello! We had mandates, Wardle.

9) Two of Wardle's colleague then went to work for censorship groups: one to a PR firm that helped censor Australians. Another went to a UK agency that was caught last summer censoring Brits.

Just call 'misinformation research' what it is: 'censorship research.'

10) You read a lot of studies by misinformation researchers claiming to save lives with science—The Lancet is not alone in publishing these papers—and the New York Times stories about them are always positive.

Con artists can be convincing.

11) But if we persist as a goldfish culture that forgets they lied to us 15 minutes in the past, we deserve what we get, and should admit the obvious: we relish being silenced and conned.

Data constantly assails people and it seems the same trap has taken place -- the brain no longer deems holding (readily over-available) information as important
